'A Skull in Connemara' at The Gamm

Posted

The Gamm stages the last of its wildly popular productions of McDonagh’s multi-award-winning “Leenane Trilogy” with another macabre mini-masterpiece. For one week each autumn, Mick Dowd (played by Jim O'Brien as Mick Dowd (l) with Jonathan Fisher as Mairtin Hanlonis) is hired to disinter bones in sections of his local cemetery to make way for the new arrivals. But as the time approaches for him to dig up the bones of his own late wife, rumors about his possible involvement in her sudden death seven years ago resurface. Populated by misfits and miscreants all digging for the truth, "A Skull in Connemara" is a blasphemously funny whodunit complete with flying skulls and bloody hatchets.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
